I have partially reverted these changes because you turned the fence alongside the railway line into a golf path. Please take more care with your edits. Thanks

I’ve reverted this changeset. Please stop tagging car parks and every building as an office. They’re not offices. Similarly, please stop tagging every road as a golf cart path. It breaks vehicle routing in satnavs, and other uses of OpenStreetMap data.

Hi, can you please reply to confirm you’ve got this message? Your contributions to golf courses around Furness are helpful on the whole, but you are repeatedly mis-tagging roads and buildings so that the data about them is incorrect. Please can you use the correct tags for things; persistently using the wrong ones could be construed as vandalism, rather than a good-faith contribution to OpenStreetMap. If you’re having difficulty getting to grips with the tagging scheme, please say, and someone can help. Thanks.

Hi, there’s already a stile mapped a few metres to the north-east, on the wall line. Is there really a second stile here? If so, it may be helpful to map the wall/fence that it crosses. Ta. :)

Hi. Please can you explain why you keep re-tagging the car park for the golf course as an office building. The satellite imagery shows it’s a car park.

Hi, I’ve partially undone this changeset, and completely undone your other changeset/106254668 (in changesets changeset/106289118 and changeset/106289011) as you appear to be incorrectly re-tagging roads as paths.

I suspect this is a case of tagging for the renderer (osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer) which is not allowed on OpenStreetMap. See the linked page for more details, but essentially it means things like vehicle routing will be broken by your changes.

Please use the most appropriate tagging for an object, regardless of how that makes it look on the rendered map. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! :)

Thanks for your edits around golf clubs recently.

Hi, I reverted these changes in changeset#106203091 because they don’t make any sense — you’ve retagged the car park as an office building, which is not what the satellite imagery shows. I assume this is a case of tagging for the renderer. Please see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer for why this is a bad idea. Ta

I’ve re-added the path in changeset/106081976. If you get more info out of your daughter (or if she wishes to make the changes herself), the tagging on it could be changed to indicate how/where it’s overgrown/obstructed/whatever. :)

Hi, thanks for your reply. Sounds like a good partnership you have there, sorry to hear she had troubles with the footpaths. The one you deleted is present on the definitive footpath map for the area, so should exist in some form on the ground (even if seriously overgrown or built over). Can your daughter provide a bit more information about what she found there? I think the likely best path forward is to re-add the line of the path, but change its tagging to indicate its present state (overgrown, disused and not present on the ground, etc.). Otherwise there’s a risk someone will re-add it from the definitive map in the future, without realising it was deleted for a reason. What do you think? Cheers

Hi, did you delete Whittington FP 4 near High Biggins intentionally in this changeset? Does it not exist on the ground? I ask because your changeset comment doesn’t say anything about footpaths near Whittington/High Biggins or why they might be deleted. Ta

Hi, I’ve reverted this in changeset/105723212 because that postbox is already mapped 40m to the south-east.

Hi, thanks for your edits around Barrow recently. Just to check, why did you delete the service road for the car park at the golf club? Does it no longer exist? Ta

You’re right, thanks for pointing it out. Fixed in changeset/105416275

Hi, thanks for making fixes to entrance tagging, but I don’t think this is correct in this case. This entrance is a hole in the wall, above ground level, for little gondolas of clay to enter the building on a ropeway. It’s not accessible to humans either physically or by permission. I’ve changed its tagging back to access=no, but kept entrance=service instead of entrance=goods. How does that sound?

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for your edits. When adding/modifying buildings, note that you can press the Q key (with the building selected) to automatically square its corners. :)

I don’t think it’s possible to put a photo in a discussion, but you could link to a photo on geograph.org.uk (or similar).

I’d be inclined to leave the area in OSM, and the fence, but change the tagging from tourism=zoo to demolished:tourism=zoo using the lifecycle prefix scheme (osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix). That means it probably won’t be rendered on the map, but the area data is still in OSM for if/when it gets bought and turned into something new. The existing boundaries would likely remain as-is in that case.

What’s the state of the site on the ground now? Has it been completely razed, or is the area still demarcated/fenced from other things? If the latter, I’d be tempted to keep the area in OSM and keep it marked as abandoned (as you have done), and change its name to old_name. Just like with a vacant shop. If the site gets reused in future, the area in OSM can be reused with its tags updated.

Thanks, I think the traffic lights should be mapped separately, then, one per fork of the road. :) I’ve done so in changeset/103329763 — please edit it further if anything’s wrong with it! I haven’t been to Ambleside for a few months.

The tagging guidelines I used were highway=traffic_signals#How_to_map_.28new.29

Hi, thanks for your recent edits in Ambleside and Windermere. Just checking — have the traffic lights at the end of Compston Road really been removed? If so, the pedestrian crossing will probably need re-tagging. The lights were previously mapped separately because they’re not in exactly the same place as the crossing.

You’re right about the B6254, thanks for fixing the bicycle tagging on that. I’ve partially restored the old tagging of the A601(M) in these two changesets:
changeset/101927703
changeset/101927825
